SummaryHamel Husain's blog post and PyAI Conf talk arguing data scientists remain essential in the LLM era. The core claim: evaluation, debugging stochastic systems, and metrics design (framed as 'harness engineering') persist regardless of foundation-model APIs. References OpenAI's harness engineering blog post.
